The Kelsey Museum is the perfect place to spend the weekend before Halloween. Instead of haunted houses or jack-o’-lanterns, you’ll find real treasures from the ancient world that connect with Halloween themes in surprising ways. Discover mummies, magical inscriptions, and statues missing their heads. These objects weren’t created for Halloween, but they invite us to think about the same ideas—mystery, spirits, spells, and the afterlife—that make the holiday so fascinating today. Step out of the pumpkin patch and into the galleries to see how many artifacts we can find that remind us of Halloween!

This event is free and open to all visitors.
